I've now had a chance to play with this a little and while indexing,
tagging and searching all seem to work as expected, I am getting the
error 'Stack overflow in regexp matcher' when I try to view any of the
ebooks which either leaves the buffer basically useless (no notmuch key
shortcuts will work) or leads to a full segfault in emacs (23.1.1).

The trace begins:

  run-hook-with-args(notmuch-wash-tidy-citations 0)

The contents of the ':content' part appears to be the complete text of
the novel.
